Hey!
Awesome lens! I just created a lens focusing on the Southern California coast. I was born and raised in Los Angeles and have been a beach girl my whole life. I created this lens for everyone from tourists to Angelenos to get an insider's view on the beautiful and diverse beaches of SoCal. Check it out when you get a chance!
Warmth,
Valerie
